Help SERIOUS Problem: Android Phone Low On RAM!

[Davdi]

IF you could root it, you could have a 32GB SD card formatted via GPArted ir similar as:
Partition 1 - 4GB EXT4, Partition 2 22GB Fat32, Partiton 3 - 4GB Linux swap and a bit unused at ente end.
Then install Int2Ext4+, give it root access and you've effectively got 4GB instead of 512Mb.
Oh, and it needs to be a class 10 card.
I did this on an HTC Wildfire S, which officially stopped on Gingerbread, and had (CM) KitKat 4.4 running well on it. NOTE: KitKat 4.4 is as new as you can get if your phone is an ARM6 device. All newer versions of Android require at least an ARM7 processor.

For a newb, as myself, I have the card, and have rooted my generic device running 4.4.2. Is the int2ext4+ an apk prog to install and it will help to give me more ram? Currently have only 1gb and cant install anything. Also cant get google music to recognize anything but the 1gb to download music, hiwever es file manager can see external usb devices and the 32gb system card. Thanks for any help!

I'm now sure the On5 we got here is 32GB, and that's it. Don't have these "lite" minimal internal storage carrier versions of it
